Today, the Texas VFW honors Memorial Day and encourages mindfulness, recognizing that this long weekend carries a significant national responsibility.
Memorial Day is a day of remembrance established in 1868 to honor fallen soldiers. For Veterans, this day carries profound significance, a reflection on the sacrifices of fallen comrades.

Veteran supporters can be mindful in observance of this day:
🔴Wear a Buddy Poppy as a symbol of remembrance and support.
⚪Take a moment at 3:00 PM to pause and honor those who have laid down their lives for our freedom.
🔵Remembering that Memorial Day differs from Veterans Day, the former honors those who have died in service, while the latter celebrates all who have served.

Let’s ensure we observe this day with the dignity and respect it deserves.

"Remember the Maine!"

On February 15, 1898, the USS Maine tragically sank in Havana Harbor, igniting the Spanish-American War and reshaping veteran support in our nation. This pivotal moment directly led to the formation of the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW), born out of a necessity for organized advocacy and support for those who served.

Today, as we honor the memory of the over 260 sailors lost, "Remember the Maine!" resonates deeply among VFW Members, symbolizing our collective commitment to honor the sacrifices made by our service members. This rallying cry serves not only as a remembrance of the past but also as a call to action for our mission today: to fight for the rights and benefits of every veteran. Together, we stand united.
